Roman Reigns Beat Everyone Who Mattered


Roman Reigns Beat Everyone Who Mattered


This year, The Tribal Chief toppled the three best options in Zayn, Rhodes, and Uso in a similar fashion. There was a compelling reason for each of them to finally defeat him, but the Samoa star won with the help of The Bloodline every time.

It wasn't as heartbreaking when his cousin fell victim to the same fate because the audience has seen this scenario before. WWE didn't even bother to do something new. It was just another hooded family member and the inevitable conclusion.

Most viewers had faith that Zayn's loss would be worth it when The American Nightmare finished the story. Then, some fans warmed up to the idea that this reign of terror could end where it started if Main Event Jey did the unthinkable.

Sure, we can all assume that Rhodes will eventually get his rematch. Still, the light at the end of the tunnel seems so far, and WWE has burned out its audiences with these missed opportunities.

Too Much Decompression Without Enough of a Pay-off

If Reigns doesn't face Rhodes again until WrestleMania 40, that leaves us without a satisfying pay-off to that dangling plotline for another year.

That's debatably not a bad problem to have when The Bloodline is still drawing viewers and creating moments. However, the main event of SummerSlam was so disappointing because WWE didn't reward its fans for sticking with these characters.

Instead, it erased the progress that felt so earned when The Usos left the stable after Night of Champions. After all this time, they finally stood up to The Head of the Table and realized he needed them more than they needed him.

Jimmy kicked off this rebellion and encouraged his brother to follow suit. So, it felt like retread when he re-emerged to help The Tribal Chief again.

  Nick Bosa's huge new contract provides foundation for next wave of 49ers stars SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- From the moment the San Francisco 49ers used the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft on him, defensive end Nick Bosa has been one of the franchise's most important players. In the more than four years since, the only thing that's changed is that Bosa has somehow managed to become even  more  important to the Niners' success. Any remaining doubt about just how much Bosa means to the 49ers vanished Wednesday, when he agreed to a five-year, $170 million contract that includes $122.5 million in guarantees, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal makes Bosa the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Getting Bosa back in the fold following a 43-day holdout that lasted longer than many expected was imperative for the 2023 49ers. Bosa is the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and there's a strong argument that he's the p...

  Madison Keys ousts Wimbledon champ, storms into US Open semis NEW YORK -- American Madison Keys breezed past reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova 6-1, 6-4 on Wednesday night to reach the US Open semifinals, fending off all nine break points she faced. Keys, a 2017 US Open finalist, suffered a handful of early exits at Flushing Meadows in recent years but has excelled in the 2023 tournament and appeared right at home in prime time under the bright lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium. "I think I just find another gear when it comes to Slams," Keys told reporters. "Part of it is that I put a little bit more pressure on myself, which is a good thing and also a bad thing sometimes. "But I've just peaked at the right time, I guess. I haven't had too many disappointing exits at Slams." Vondrousova, the No. 9 seed, withdrew from her doubles campaign after a three-set test from American Peyton Stearns in the fourth round left her with a sore arm, and she...
